Hi all,
since I asked about timezone corrections and didn't get any info, as well as others seem to have the same problem, here's what solved the issue for me: install pytz (easy_install pytz) install babel (easy_install babel - docs can be found at http://babel.edgewall.org) I added a stdvars.py in my project directory containing import turbogears.i18n as i18n from babel.dates import format_datetime def add_custom_stdvars(vars): vars.update({"format_datetime": format_datetime}) vars.update({"locale": i18n.get_locale()}) return vars turbogears.view.variable_providers.append(add_custom_stdvars) You'd need to get the timezone for the client from somewhere. In my case I get it from a database table where the user can set up his timezone, i.e. US/Pacific. You might do a IP address trace or something the like. The "getSettings()" method in the snippet below returns a db object which has a user-defined setting for the timezone - so this is where you'd need to adapt it. Now in the controller I just add the user's timezone to the return dict, like on top: from pytz import timezone settings=getSettings() res['timezone']=timezone(settings.timezone) return res And finally in the template (in my case Genshi) ${tg.format_datetime(<your_datetime_here>,format='medium',tzinfo=timezone,locale=tg.locale)} wherever you need the formatted datetime. I added the locale (which wouldn't be necessary for the timezone correct display) because then not only the timezone is correct, but also the date format, i.e. 1.7.2007 22:23:15 when the locale is de_DE and Jan 7 2007 10:23:15 pm when the locale is en_US The locale is sucked from the browser settings, so if the user set up his computer correctly it should come out right automatically. Hope this helps someone.
